“We have to start to treat music like theatre. Treat it in the sense where we can have people understand, visually what you doing musically.” ~ Duvone Stewart. The excerpt, extracted from The Man Behind The Music demonstrates, in his own words, the context and relevance of the relationship succinctly from a metaphorical and literal sense. Duvone is truly a musical artist extraordinaire!!! Blessings!!! 🙏🏽

[@MarkLoquanMusic]

You nailed it. The essence of what we need to do and Duvone is totally correct..

[@stephennurse3827]

There is no doubt the steelband is on the right track. My friends, as an elder player, I can honestly say that the emotions that I have seen through the dimensions of the experience, one day we will enjoy the pan even greater. Love to Duvon Stewart. Keep up the excellent work. Nothing good comes easy. From the author of As a man thinketh; 'He who sacrifice greatly, shall attain highly'

2018 Renegades Arrangement, was one of the best arrangements I’ve ever heard in my almost 13 years of steel pan. And I must say, Duvone’s aim to tell his story through the song really worked. Because I didn’t know until now, that whole arrangement was for somebody that he lost. Duvone’s really a GOAT for this one.

[@Panness]

A really good insight into Duvone's musical journey and his thoughts and feelings throughout. A documentary that has been well done and one I've been anticipating 😅👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great job everyone! Brilliant Duvone 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

This is also a LIVING FACTUAL EVIDENCE of the Power of a MISSION STATEMENT in all we do in Life. BTW Mr. Stewart explaining why it was done and the purpose it served the ENTIRE Orchestra bought into it and well the result speaks for itself. Fantastic historical facts❤

[@CherieAnnJohnson]

Somehow it is through deeply painful experiences the most beautiful creations find their way into our lives. Thank you to our ancestor Mr. Alleyne for what his life and death birthed in the life of this amazing creative being Mr. Duvone Stewart. I bow to you both with deep gratitude.

[@MarkLoquanMusic]

Thank you for watching and your comment. Please share the link, to share the experience of this moving story.

I am a Bahamian, I have watched pan videos starting from 2017 what you guys do down there is amazing! This mini documentary gave me chills from start to finish. Amazing story and an amazing man with so much to offer the world. Definitely need a pt 2

[@tmoor2532]

it is said that "Life imitates Art", but in this case, Art reflects Life. This interview of Life, Love, Pain, Courage, Music, and Perseverance through Pain! As I reflect on my time coming from Tobago and living with my Godmother on 16 Nelson Street, this story touched my heart. Well done to the producers for bringing this story to light. Looking forward to Part 2. Stay strong Duvonne!

[@axevictim715]

Now i understand why I'm a huge Duvone fan and a Renegades fan 4 life! I grew up on the East Dry River, Observatory street, in the early 60s. I also pushed pan for Renegades in those days and never was a fan of any other band. I also went to Nelson Street Boys when it was the vagabond school in town! This story touched my heart & soul and when I saw their finals with Year For Love, I couldn't see any thing that was close in 2018! Respect.❤

[@evasalloum8227]

Heart breaking and uplifting at the same time…our great and talented pan people thank you Mark for this production….Renegades forever in my heart! ❤️

[@MarkLoquanMusic]

WoW!! Oh WoW!! Thank you sooo much for this. Aside write I'm all teary eyed and fill with emotions. Yes , we have to treat music like Theatre. 🏆. It's soooo important to document these important facts for posterity. In 100 years time this will always be used for life PURPOSE. I remember going to the yard a few times that year and didn't even know it's origin of its purpose. Well done Mr. Stewart and thank you for the unifying of my original home town. Thanks again for Part 2 Mr. Loquan. Congratulations to youband your entire team🎉
